What To Expect

Arlington National Cemetery

A sobering reminder of the realities of war, the Arlington National Cemetery is a beautiful tribute to over 400,000 service members and their families buried there. Learn about the more famous tombs, like that of President John F. Kennedy. Explore a few surprising graves, like that of famed boxer Joe Louis. The cemetery is even home to memorials commemorating the disasters of space shuttles Columbia and Challenger. Along with a few carefully selected residents like Audie Murphy, your guide will take you to the Tomb of the Unknowns where you may even witness a Changing of the Guard ceremony. Walk these hallowed grounds to learn how the home of Robert E. Lee, whose Arlington House we’ll visit, became one of the country’s largest national cemeteries.

Exceeded our expectations. Do your best to achedule the tour earlier in the day for cooler weather and avoid the crowds. Maribeth, our passionate and very prepared guide, was organized, punctual, and accommodating for members of the group (finding shade where possible and restrooms when available). We were able to see the changing of the guard at the top of the hour and a wreath ceremony. Very cool! Thank you for a great experience. BTW - prepare in advance to be walking, and wear walking/running shoes.

We thoroughly enjoyed our trip to Arlington Cemetery. Annemarie made our tour awesome, adding interesting stories and showing us some of the lesser known sights. We highly recommend this tour.

Changing of the guard is always memorable. I enjoyed the side notes from certain graves. Doug was very knowledgeable of Arlington. He had pictures on his iPad that he added to the tour.
